Bride of movie quotes challenge

I'm going to give you three:

"Well, boys, I reckon this is it - nuclear combat, toe to toe with the
Russkies"

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!"

"I shouldn't tell you this, Mandrake, but you're a good officer and you've
a right to know. It looks like we're in a shooting war."
"Oh, hell. Are the Russians involved, sir?"

The first being perhaps my favourite movie line ever, and the third being
a dead giveaway.

HA! Dead giveaway for some, but not me.

Looking forward to seeing who comes up with the answers without that
search engine support.

Fwiw, I'm enjoying my online Blockbuster account. And, if you're bored
out of your frigging skull, here's my current queue of movies I'm
waiting to arrive:

Ahnuld schtufff:

How Arnold Won the West
Junior

John Carpenter's work:

American Nightmare
Dark Star
Assault on Precinct 13 and its remake
They Live
In the Mouth of Madness
Prince of Darkness

Clint Eastwood projects:

Million Dollar Baby
Coogan's Bluff
White Hunter, Black Heart
Perfect World
Every Which Way But Loose
Any Which Way You Can

And, yeah, "other":

ATL

Just finished watching The Directors episode highlighting the career of
Clint Eastwood. Excellent. Before that it was a similar hour-long DVD
about John Carpenter's career. Did you know he was married to Adrienne
Barbeau?

(drools)

I Googled her a bit and have one question - WHERE WAS I WHEN SHE WAS
STARRING IN _OH, CALCUTTA!_???

They're all dead giveaways for anyone who's seen Dr. Strangelove a dozen
or two times.

I found a used copy of Superman Returns at Hastings.
It was decent. Man that kid sure looks like Christopher Reeves!
So sad. <sigh>

Must confess, I don't recognize any of those...
So many movies, so little time. ;-)

I'll have to look them up. Josie the outlaw is currently on my shopping
list, but Hastings did not have a copy the other day.

My favorite exchange:

"No, I mean when they tortured you did you talk?"
"Ah, oh, no... well, I don't think they wanted me to talk really. I
don't think they wanted me to say anything. It was just their way of
having a bit of fun, the swines."

I'm almost having a seizure, but I haven't Googled YET.

What was that movie... Doctor Strangelove or How I Learned to Love the
Bomb?

But THAT sounds like something that would fit into The Manchurian
Candidate.

I am a bit of a science fiction fan and I really liked this one. I
guess some will find it tacky with Rowdy Rody Piper as the lead actor.
But I liked the guy so that made it even better. It is pretty low
budget but it has some interesting things in it.

>Every Which Way But Loose
>Any Which Way You Can

Thought these where funny back when I saw them years ago. I suspect
you got a lot more Clint movies to go.

Every DVD I wanted to rent (as we have missed seeing many movies
lately) was out at the local BlockBusters this holiday weekend (too
many tourists in town) guess we will have to crunch with the crowds and
go see something at the cinemas - probably 'Rocky Balboa' or 'Blood
Diamond'.

When I saw the title of this thread I thought of the 'bride' in a
different movie ;-)

Buttercup: "You mock my pain!"
Westley: "Life is pain! Anyone who says differently is selling
something!"

"My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die"

I actually have that movie...

Decent ending. ;-)

Some movie endings are _so_ disappointing.
I think it's why (despite my general aversion to horror flicks) I
actually liked AVP.

Josie the Outlaw.
Those quotes appeared in another thread which is why that movie is now
on my shopping list. ;-)

Hastings did not have a copy on hand.

I Googled immediately following and saw that I forgot "Stop Worrying

hahaHAH! Excellent.

I'd sign the petition. I'd help tote a banner! Was just speaking with
my uncle who recently turned 60. I'll be 45 in just a few months. We
were both semi-lamenting the speed of time's passage. It seems like
yesterday that I was sitting at a bar in Maryland (ten days prior to my
18th birthday, drinking a Coke as my two 18-year-old friends were
enjoying their beers) thinking that i'd NEVER reach 21. Suddenly I'm
twice that age plus two bonus years!

Ol' Unc commented that if the past 20 years seemed to pass in a flash
then the next 20 years probably will, too. Eighty for him and closing
in on 65 for me.

Yes, Happy New Year to all. )

Let's make the most of an almost certainly ever-diminishing number of
years left to go. (Barring that science fiction-like breakthrough
which, yeah, will almost definitely not benefit the typical joe six
pack.)
